Movies I Don't Get: Color of Night

Yes, I'm really getting into controversial territory here, but I must say, I didn't quite get that movie Color of Night (1994). I understand that it was something of a shallow attempt to emulate Basic Instinct, as well as a great starring vehicle for luminaries Lesley Ann Warren, Brad Dourif, and of course, The Great Bakula.

However, the whole mystery - nay, the whole point of the movie - hinges upon our inability to recognize that three of the main characters are actually played by the same actress. Observe:

Now, unless you're blind, you would realize that the same damn actress is playing all of them. Here's a hint:

Perhaps the producers thought that you would be so distracted by Jane March being naked half the time to notice her long, uniformly slanted teeth. Perhaps that may be the case. Regardless, it was pretty bold of them to get us to believe that Bruce Willis - whose character is supposed to study people - is dumber than a sack of rocks, and not realize until 5 minutes before the movie ends that the mysterious, high-voiced teenage boy in his psychiatry sessions is actually the young woman he's been sleeping with.

Next movie: Braveheart!
